PRESS RELEASE. ZK International Group Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: ZKIN) (“ZKIN“, “ZK International” or the “Company”), a designer, engineer, manufacturer, and supplier of patented high-performance stainless steel and carbon steel pipe products primarily used for water and gas supplies, is pleased to announce its ETF-like decentralized fund and platform, which is the second DeFi project in xSigma’s ecosystem. The project’s website: https://xsigma-etf.com.

The announced ETF-like protocol will be a decentralized fund based on Ethereum blockchain, that will diversify between major crypto assets related to the DeFi space. In addition, it will provide a platform that will enable others to create indexes and it will be branded and known as xTF by xSigma.

The decentralized smart contract application (DApp) is expected to act like an index of the major DeFi tokens, allowing crypto investors to capitalize on overall growth of a wider share of the DeFi market, and potentially reducing risks and transactional costs. xTF by xSigma is also expected to allow others to create ETF-like decentralized funds on their own with just a few clicks. It will allow institutions and individuals to create own indexes, attract capital and earn on trading fees and expense ratios. The fees can be configured, and various business models can be implemented. Finally, the platform is expected to turn into a marketplace or aggregator of various indexes.

Indexes will be presented in a form of tokens issued on Ethereum blockchain. Users will be able to buy or issue ETF-like tokens using ETH. Issuing tokens means increasing the fund’s size and requires adding more assets to the fund. Withdrawing funds from the capital requires burning according amount of tokens. Critically, all people who engage with the DApp will retain control of their crypto assets (e.g. Ethereum) and will be able to deposit assets into the DApp and withdraw them from the DApp at their discretion using their own crypto asset wallets.

The DeFi industry now has crypto worth over $21 billion locked in major protocols, according to the DeFi Pulse website. xSigma is now targeting the DeFi space with two projects: DeFi protocol (stablecoin DEX) and the newly announced ETF-like protocol xTF by xSigma. The ultimate objective of xSigma is to build an ecosystem of products for finance and blockchain.

Mr. Jiancong Huang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ZK International, stated, “We are pleased to announce that xSigma now has two projects in the DeFi space. We look forward to bringing innovation to the blockchain and finance industries with xSigma’s team.”

The release of the xTF by xSigma is scheduled for the second quarter in 2021, and technical details will be revealed soon. xSigma expects to generate fees from the fund’s operation in the future. The project won’t be a regulated financial product, and xSigma team won’t have access to digital assets deposited in the DApp.

Some elements of the protocol of the platform will be immutable while others will be subject to being amended as per the votes of a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that will govern key decisions with respect to the protocol. Votes shall be cast using governance tokens that will be ERC-20 tokens automatically issued by the protocol, as per the terms of the protocol. As a utility token, such governance tokens will not be registered with any securities regulator or other regulatory body. xSigma expressly renounces any representations as to the actual or projected value of tokens issued on any of its DeFi protocols; they needn’t have any value at all because it serves as the governance token for a DAO.

The protocol is not an ETF, in the conventional sense of the term; it is not registered, licensed or regulated by any exchange or governmental regulatory body. Instead, the protocol will be a smart contract published to the Ethereum blokchain open for anyone to inspect and engage with as they please. Further detail as to the protocol will be discussed in a white paper to be published by xSigma prior to launch of the protocol.
